+++My favorite parts of this image are the repeating circles: The globe head of the ad figure, the un-lighted globe on the street light pole, and the lighted globe on the pole above the W. The nicely balanced repeat patterns of the crane across from the windows are added interest. I even enjoy the way both the globe-head figure and the bottom stair-step top of a distant building point at the W. The sunset is the whipped cream on top, finishing off a delicious image.

I did see the color similarity there also, but if they were too close in color value it would lesson the contrast between the natural sunset and the man-made colors -- the natural soothing values of the sunset vs. the more jarring, contrived colors of the signage.

This image points out that vision trumps outmoded views on what is "natural" or "real" photography. Much like the painter who adds elements from his mind, a good photographer should never be limited to the inherent limits of camera capture. Revisiting old images can yield great discoveries.
